Re: "Remember this setting" gone

Hi!

remembering this settings should appear on pop-up windows related to ZA program control. I.e. unrecognized programs that connect to internet or have particular suspicious behavior. It does not on firewall calls (e.g. unsolicited incoming connections).

Having said that, if you do not have that option when warning relates to programs then most likely your ZA database (file containing the ZA configuration) is corrupted or if you have imported a backup of the settings, this is broken.

Try to reset the ZA databases as follow:

1.) Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together
2.) Right click on the ZA icon near your clock
3.) Choose 'Reset' from the box that comes up
4.) Choose Yes on the Reset Settings dialog box
5.) When prompted, choose OK to restart your system
6.) Follow the on screen configuration prompts after reboot

ZA settings get corrupted usually for the following reasons:

- your PC crash or hangs frequently;
- you force the shutdown of the machine or it does not shutdown correctly
- you are running other security tools conflicting with ZAX
- you are running third party software that conflicts with ZAX
- you are infected by malware.

Re: "Remember this setting" gone

Hi!

during the first 20 days of use ZA will be in learning mode. This will allow reduction to almost zero of unnecessary pop-up windows. The programs you run will be automatically granted access (unless known to be bad). Its important you let ZA learning first.

May I suggest you have quick look to the ZAX manual. You will find a lot of useful information about the functioning of ZA. Here

If you want to skip the learning (not recommended). Go to ZA program control and set it at MAX. Then turn OFF the smartdefence and UNcheck "Enable Microsoft Catalog Utilization" under the custom settings of the program control. Go to ZA program control --> programs --> and remove all programs... now you will be submerged by pop-up. Warning: this setup may render your PC difficult to manage.

It wont show it for all known software to the ZA central database (a database containing millions of known good or known bad executables). These are automatically configured for maximum compatibility and optimal security.
